 Snake Alley, Burlington, Iowa  Fort Madison, Iowa  Hannibal like Mark Twain knew it. The building on the right was the childhood home of Samuel Clemens's first love, who became the inspiration for Becky Thatcher.  Probably one of the most unlikely structures you'd think would survive the destruction of a town - the jail. It's an interesting, and kind of frightening, landmark.  One of the many examples of French colonial architecture in Ste. Genevieve, Missouri.  The cathedral on Jackson Square in New Orleans, surrounded by artists, musicians, and fortune tellers.  Pat O'Brien's piano bar. Notice the copper pianos!  St. Vincent's, a former orphanage and our accommodations in New Orleans.  Kudzu is a non-native vine that is literally overtaking the South. It's creating huge problems, but also eerily beautiful landscapes, such as this one near Port Gibson, Mississippi.  The gravesites of Elvis Presley, his parents, and maternal grandmother at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee.  The Pyramid is Memphis's arena right next to the Mississippi River and a tribute to the country of its namesake (Memphis, Egypt). |
